Compensation and Benefit Surveys

The Surveys Department serves as a clearinghouse of business, economic and human resource information. It provides employers with information and statistics that are used in the development of personnel policies, benefit design, and compensation plans.

Regularly scheduled surveys provide MSEC members with an accurate and timely picture of wage and salary levels, employee benefits and other personnel administration issues. The Council's program includes community surveys in the Rocky Mountain area, as well as various industry-based surveys. Compensation surveys are typically conducted on an annual basis, while human resource practices are published every other year.

MSEC conducts over 40 compensation surveys including 12 community surveys and over 25 industry-specific surveys. Specific health and welfare and paid time off benefit surveys are conducted across communities and industries. In addition, miscellaneous human resource practices are surveyed on a regular basis.

Special Surveys and Reports
"Spot check" surveys and research reports are available to members upon request and are conducted when a member has a need for highly specific information. These studies may involve wages, salaries, benefits and personnel practices and policies.

Contract Surveys
